This follows a general trend of roads becoming unsafer since COVID.

Traffic Fatalities in CA:

2019 -> 2020: +3.4%

2020 -> 2021: +7.6%

Unclear about 2021 -> 2022, I'd have to run the SWITRS data myself. Keep in mind these are just fatalities. I'm guessing crash data will show an even larger effect.
